13 Potential Dividend Kings To Buy For The Next Decade

Long-term dividend growth has a big lack. It focuses only on stocks with a long-term dividend hike.

If a company pays no dividend but buys back tons of its own stock, it means not that the company is bad. The company has the same quality but will not see as a long-term dividend growth investment.

That's one reason why I'm trying to put some buyback kings into the screen. Another lack is that future dividend kings, who are only 3 years on the market and paid two years dividends to the public, will not be included into the search results. 

For sure those stocks with a short business age also offer higher risks, but sometimes the business runs for decades but was private.

Today I like to show you a few interesting stocks that have risen dividends over more than 5 consecutive years. Each of the stocks could become a dividend champion or dividend king one day. 

But the risk to fail is also higher than for stocks that are still playing the dividend champions league. Exactly 412 stocks managed to grow dividends over more than 5 years. 

Here are my personal favorites...

12 Dividend Stocks To Buy And Hold For The Next 20 Years

According to legendary investor Warren Buffett, the best holding period is forever. While most investors may not have quite that long of a time horizon, the key to successful investing is buying high-quality stocks at reasonable prices and holding them for a very long time. With that in mind, I come up with some ideas for stocks that can be safely held for the next 20 years.

You might agree with me or not but growth is more important for this issue. Only a stocks with solid growth perspectives could give you a price appreciation.

That's also the reason why I'm looking for stocks with growth. My second criteria are profitability. Only a company that scales it's money making machine could create values, not a stock that wides losses. That's easily to understand.

Attached you find my 12 favorite dividend paying growth stocks. Which do you like from the list?

Here are the results...

8 High-Return Creating Stocks

When you invest in dividend stocks you need also look at internal return rates. The most popular ratios are return on equity and return on investment.

A company that has a big return on equity and also low debt ratios means that the high ratio was not created by taking debt and boosting earnings. Great for us investors; we own a piece of a high income generating company.

If the company can scale up its sales by taking more debt and issuing new shares, our return could boost. That's also one reason why I look at low debt with good return on equity ratios. If the company also do stock buybacks and hiked dividends, great!

My experience is that no companies fulfill everything. It's no shame when a company suffers and do not meet every optimum value. Each business is volatile and risky.

I've tried to create a screen, based on some return figures. Below are my 8 favorites. At the end of this article, you can find a list with 16 additional stocks.

These are my main criteria:
- Midcap+
- Forward P/E under 15
- Operating Margin over 15 percent
- Debt-to-equity under 1
- Return on Equity 15%+
- Payout half of profits
- Mid-digit Earnigns growth forecasts
